Jenny Chen’s latest solo exhibition at Tina Keng Gallery, “As Life As Season: Spring Flows, Autumn Gathers”, marks her long-awaited return following 2022’s “Order in Chaos”. After a three-year hiatus, this new exhibition presents nearly 27 new works, encompassing two major series: acrylic paintings and collages. Notably, “As Life As Season: Spring Flows, Autumn Gathers” is also the inaugural exhibition in Tina Keng Gallery’s newly renovated space. In response to this fresh setting, Chen’s works adopt a more expansive rhythm and a brighter visual language, engaging directly with the transformed gallery environment.

The exhibition title “As Life As Season: Spring Flows, Autumn Gathers” does not refer to a linear progression of the four seasons or a unidirectional flow of time. Instead, it evokes a cyclical rhythm of perception — one that unfolds and interweaves throughout the creative process. For Chen, artmaking is not a journey from point A to point B, but a slow formation shaped by repeated sensations, reflection, and reconstruction — growing between the acts of “flowing and gathering”.

The exhibition is a reflection on Jenny Chen herself, and on the acts of observation and gathering that have shaped her creative practice over the past two years. Even a brief glimpse into the layered experiences and quiet intensity at the core of her life reveals how she uses art to respond to moments of change, fortune, and adversity — gradually shaping a visual language and rhythm uniquely her own.
